The Bar at the Foot of Mount Kilimanjaro

Every time we say goodbye
I walk that sad slow walk
Believing the lie
The one that says we’ll see each other soon
The one where your body flies me to the moon
Where your lips drown me in an ocean of fire
And your hips map the road to ultimate desire
Every time I leave you I get broken
In ever smaller pieces with every
Promise that we’ve never even spoken
I cannot read or write or think
As often as my eyes have to blink
I need your voice to whisper and scream
And talk softly slow into a lazy night
I need you to kiss this whole dark dream alright
Bring back my heart if you don’t need it
But wrap it airtight so no one else can ever see it
I will take it to the slope of Kilimanjaro
And plant it there so love may grow
In the unsuspecting hearts of innocents
In your arms I am the girl that glows
And when you leave, well, that me,I don’t know
The stranger that remains looks very much like me
But the gray life she lives – it cannot be
In between the busiest of days
I remain amazed how you sneak in and steal
Such a big piece of my head so real
You are always and forever near me
I feel you in the night,
I kiss you in our flight,
We bask in golden sun,
We shower naked under sparkling waterfalls, as a dare, for fun
We talk to animals, and they talk back
We walk with spirits twirling and watch butterfly wings unfurling
But the thing that I like most is believing the lie
That there is always only you and I
And that I’ll see you soon
And you’ll smile
And I’ll swoon
We’ll dance in dreams and do all those things
That we were meant to share
So every day I go to that bar at the foot of Mount Kili
And I watch and I listen and I wait for you there
